Rugby

Modern rugby is a fast, technical, full-contact sport that demands courage, skill and commitment to succeed at the highest level. Rugby: Steps to Success contains all the fundamentals, position-specific techniques and key tactics necessary to get players onto the first rungs of the ladder for top-flight rugby. The authors from the first edition, Tony Biscombe and Peter Drewett, deliver a fully updated resource using their vast rugby knowledge gained from playing and coaching at every level. Building on their successful first edition, they have updated all the fundamental techniques covering footwork, passing, tackling and general all-round team play. Biscombe and Drewett then show how to apply these skills in defensive and attacking situations. More than 90 game-enhancing drills and an easy-to-follow scoring system enable players to gauge their readiness to move on to the next step. This new edition of Rugby: Steps to Success includes completely new sections on attacking and defending as a team, up-to-date laws and new drills. The clear and detailed instruction is enhanced by full-colour photographs and illustrations to help players grasp concepts and move their game play to the next level.
